1st Test: Elgar's ton in farewell series gives SA lead over India

In an elongated middle session, caused by the absence of play on both mornings, the hosts scored 145 runs in 33 overs, losing only two wickets. There was a noticeable shift in momentum. In summary, stand-in captain Elgar (140) and De Zorzi contributed 93 runs in approximately 24 overs. Despite India dismissing de Zorzi and Keegan Petersen within nine balls, opener Elgar and debutant David Bedingham (56 off 87) capitalized on improved conditions. SA were 256-5 at stumps.

India's series-levelling win against England at the ACA-VDCA Stadium was boosted by Rohit Sharma's team's ability to withstand England's aggressive approach. The pitch did not trouble the batters, despite Jasprit Bumrah's reverse swing. England's failure to play long innings and Zak Crawley's dismissal by Kuldeep Yadav revived India's hopes. England needed 205 more to win at that stage but Jonny Bairstow lost the review after being given out to Bumrah by Chris Gaffaney and England went to lunch at 194/6. from Cricket News: Latest Cricket News, Live Scores, Results, Upcoming match Schedules | Times of India https://ift.tt/RGX9E7Q via IFTTT
